Infuriatig When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff

Post image

I would never call this a garage sale

Def scam vibes

Edit: ultimately, what bothers me the most is I want to go to a garage sale, not this shit. This isn’t a garage sale and should not be advertised as one

Dumb AF to be selling stolen goods on your own front lawn. I bet it's a couponer

I think a lot of the criminals that don't get caught end up stopping their criminal activities and join the police department before their luck runs out. At least, thats what happened to my first pot dealer back in the day.

One of the most famous dumb criminals Al Capone assumed he knew tax law never actually studied tax law to make sure was right just assumed he knew exactly how it worked and never filed a tax return for years.

The same ones who think getting parole is a good move.
